I've seen on some forums you can have security for your forum like at the bottom of one of the forums it was box and it said like 17 Hackers Stopped or something.

So im just wondering if theres a mod or something I can get so that my forum doesnt get hacked etc ???

    well wat stuff can I get to make sure my forum is nice and safe.. except from the fact of having the latest phpBB cause I do

      That sounds like a mod, or someone trying an pseudo security trick. I.e. they place it there to see if it prevents hackers. In my mind, it would push them further to try and hack my board, I woudln't want that.

      But as far as the end-user goes, the only more-secure thing you can do is put phpBB on an httpS connection. That's about it. If you apply mods, see what they modify, and make sure it's still secure. The most problems come from people applying mods and then leaving their board open, and of course hackers being @ssh0l3s and trying to hack boards....

        Oryt, I see

        Well I Just wanted to make sure because I wanted to check if there was anything I should be doing to keep it secure.

        Thanks

          Nothing you can do. Other than keep it updated, which you say you do. So that's about it.
